History Lessons

Back to AC. Back to Codes. Back to late nights and alarm clocks. Ah the love.

Nothing significant has been going on to talk about. This morning I had a really great double History code. The class was split into six groups of three and we were defending countries Britain, France, Serbia, Russia, Austria-Hungary and Germany and we were in a debate defending how our country was not the cause of the First World War. It was brilliant. I was in a group with two other girls defending Austria-Hungary. Some of the students got really aggressive and passionate about their country and were adamantly arguing with one another- it was tough to keep up at some parts.

Also tonight there’s a presentation in Tythe Barn with a past AC-student named Jack Fairweather on ‘A War of Choice’, his book published last week on the War in Iraq. I think it will be really fascinating, and compared to the other places he’s visiting in Britain we are so lucky he’s given a day to come here.

I miss Anne-Sofie quite a lot. There’s a new girl in my dorm, Chloe from Nice, France. She’s incredibly happy and a sweet heart. And though I do miss Anne-Sofie it makes me realise that she really may not have been right for this school, Chloe’s enthusiasm and happiness in the room makes that apparent.  

This weekend I plan to take Chloe to the Italian restaurant to get to know her a bit better. Have lots of homework to do, Halloween SOSH... exciting times ahead :)  

Sorry for such a short-scattered blog. Hopefully I’ll have a more substantial event to talk about soon.

Love, Abi

PS- I haven’t eaten meat at the school for 3 weeks now!
